I know for a fact that my 1963 International Harvester ½ ton would have carried that load and more…..they just don’t make ‘em like they use to. The cornbinder used to get 43 MPG loaded too!

I guess that means that the NV5600 was a piece of Junk due to the fact that a Ford laid her to rest????????????? The shifting was sloppy compared to the G56, and the 6th Gear was great for the guy or gal that just likes to ride up and down the road. Loaded I would have to be in 5th anyway to keep the truck moving without killing the engine. But with all this said, I still like the 6spd better in all aspects over the Auto's!! The manuals have never left me stranded 800 miles from home in 110deg heat!!

Now my new G56 will handle the same abuse day in and out that the NV5600 would. I can shift faster keeping my momentum up and the better gearing in the tranny lets me run in 6th while going down the interstate at 70mph instead of 60mph in the NV5600. Everyone on here that has this bad taste in there mouth about the G56 will be the same people that will knock the new 6.7L Cummins only because that is not what there Ultimate Truck has in it. Oh and if my truck get put in the shop because of a Tranny Failure atleast I will be on the road in a couple of days instead of a Month or so due to the lack of Parts for the NowVoid5600!! !!!! All you guys have a nice day and quit worrying about other peoples sticks

Anyone want to trade there G56 for my old worn out, outdated, cast iron, made in the USA, 360lb NV5600?
